So let me get this straight.
Everything east of El Paso inside Texas (MOL) decided to run their own grid, and "regulate it" through a Texas-only agency that had no authority to actually make changes to deal with extreme weather events.
Said agency made "suggestions" and/or "encouragements" and pretty much none of the power producers decided to do squat about it.
Now, disaster hits, and the state is going to get $billions to bail them out.
Seems to me, the legislature is to blame, but (probably) most of them involved at the time (~~ 2011) are either retired or out of office in some other way.
Does that sum it up, or am I getting a distorted view from way out here?
